Okay. Haven't watched in ages. Am I dreaming or did I read someone say that Kenta and Steen are in NXT? And Devitt? Holy poo poo.

It'd be neat if they would do an NXT showcase on RAW once a month or something. It seems like such a cool opportunity to give some guys or girls a chance to see how they react on a bigger stage before actually calling them up. Plus, for the most part, the matches would be really, really great.

Goddamn annoyed I missed the NXT match. How did the crowd react to it? Was it dead silence or was there some reaction? Also turns out my regular streaming site has been taken down, anywhere I can catch the match/anyone have another site handy?

I think it would be best to do one match every few months to hype Takeover. NXT is good at having long title reigns with a nice rotation of challengers, so fans would see the same champ a few months down the line and hopefully recognize him/her as someone worth checking out. If Neville retains until the next showcase match (which is unlikely because he is ready for a call up), people would sure as poo poo remember the Red Arrow.

Why isn't the commentary always how it was during the NXT match? I genuinely don't understand why you wouldn't have the commentators do everything in their power to make the people in the ring sound good.

That WWE employee that Mike Sempervive talks to and posts about on The Board talked about the difference in the HHH/Vince philosophy recently and should give people hope. However, it also quashes hope about getting rid of Dunn:quote:sanjuro - Other than Vince, does anyone like Kevin Dunn? Is he first to go when Hunter and Stef control the company?

Cena's promo sucked because it did absolutely nothing to logically build up the Night of Champions match. Yes, Cena never gives up (and he loves Make-a-Wish kids and war veterans, please love Cena). That was his mentality going into the Summerslam match and he got squashed like a bug. Why is he so confident he's going to win at NoC when he hasn't changed in the slightest? Beyond that I thought Raw was mediocre, though I liked the main event and the overrun. quote:The most important thing is that Vince and KD swing way right, to the point that there are two monitors in the elevators in Stamford – one playing the stream of the WWE Network, and the other playing Fox News. They also said right up to election day that Romney was going to win “in a landslide.” That’s the kind of culture they brew. I think I'd heard about the Romney thing, but the constant Fox News broadcast is...wow.

Fox News is the news equivalent of pro wrestling so maybe he makes people watch it for inspiration.

I knew a bunch of people who wanted Obama out and they were all so sure it was gonna be a landslide victory for Romney. Like all I heard about was this "silent majority" who was tired of being held down and it was gonna be 90-10 Romney and they were utterly shocked when it wasn't even a contest. Whether you wanted Obama or Romney, I don't know how some people could have been so blind or unaware of how it was actually gonna turn out. e: I guess if you talk to the same 15 people every day for 3 months and you all have the same opinion, it just somehow seems like everyone wants Romney to win.

The two things I took from the NXT match are that Neville has that "Holy gently caress stop flipping channels and watch this flippy guy" thing going for him that I haven't seen since Mysterio, and that Tyler Breeze really needs his old theme song back.

I was saying when it happened that Cena squishing the Wyatts three weeks ago was a good and even necessary move to establish that Cena's new found aggression, but then he didn't do nothing with it. I was hoping he'd go through some named heels like a force of nature for the next three weeks, but next week, he gives the pinfall to Reigns and this week touts the virtues and sublime blessing of being John Cena. Turns out there was no need to squish the Wyatts and it was really dumb to do, albeit the only cool thing to happen on a really bad Raw.

I haven't been watching Raw, but by the sounds of it the main storyline writing in WWE is abysmal these days. It's really unfortunate, because I had high hopes that they would do something interesting when Brock squashed Cena. I tuned out immediately when that wasn't the case.

I haven't been watching either but from what I've read the Brock/Cena storyline is basically "No really, he's got a chance against Brock this time!" NoC at the very least looks like it will have a decent enough card. Having just checked the WWE site while writing this post, Nikki is in a triple threat against AJ/Paige? This is going to lead to adding the Divas Title to the Bella/Steph storyline isn't it
